THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO
SCRANTON. PA
INTRODUCTION
ROMINENT MEN of Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Vicinity is
the outcome of expensive preparation, requiring nearly two
years of painstaking labor to complete, and is sent forth with
confidence that it will be valued by the intelligent community
it represents in proportion to its manifest merits.
Over twelve hundred portraits make this by far the most
comprehensi\'e collection ever published in the Lackawanna and
Wyoming V^alleys.
So remarkable an array of portraits of the prominent and noteworthy
men, present and past, was at first considered impossible by discerning
citizens whose advice was sought, and neither they nor anyone who has
not shared the labors involved in the making of this book can properly
realize the difficulties which have been overcome.
The sketches are arranged in numerical order, commencing at the
ending of the portraits, and in every instance confined to facts. Often it
would be easier to write a page of ordinary biography than to indicate a
man's career in a few lines, but the charm of such a collection of portraits,
unmarred by any undiscriminating biographies, always tiresome and some-
times incorrect, makes this book a pleasant review instead of a mental task.
Included in the collection are many portraits of those who have
passed away, which enhances its value, and the possessors of this memento
will have "a kind of excellent dumb discourse" more eloquent than
words, to entertain and instruct their families and friends and hand down
to posterity an heirloom which must increase in value as the passing yeais
recede into fainter and fainter memories.
The arduous toil of making a worthy collection of Portraits of Promi-
nent Men of Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties is ended, and the completed
result is ready to be placed in the hands of its subscribers. We are sure
that it will be cordially welcomed and that the better it is known the better
it will be appreciated.
